Woohoo, I managed to grab the new Air M2 MacBook (Midnight) first thing on launch day! Unbox this with me, see what my first impressions are and I run a Blackmagic speed test on the SSD and display refresh test. I think you’ll be surprised - there’s some pros and cons, but I LOVE the midnight color. Stay tuned for the full review!

This needs to be a lower price to really be an option over the M1 pro models. You can get an Macbook Pro m1 14" 512gb for $1750 now, and yet the 512gb (but otherwise lesser specced) Macbook Air is coming in at $1500. The CPU is better, but you can't really utilize it because of the cooling. Might as well get the 14" pro at that point. Now, if the 512gb air was $1200, that would be a killer alternative.

Base models normally suffice if there won't be too many applications installed and you're doing work mainly on browsers. Based on what you mentioned, I think it will be okay. However, if you want to keep it for longer, it wouldn't hurt to get a higher model.

While the SSD situation is unfortunate, at the end of the day it is an Air which no one is really buying for performance anyway.

if you can only choose one, i’d probably go with the 512 ssd. but as you want to keep the laptop for a while i’d really try to squeeze in the 16 gb ram as well just to futureproof a bit more, since with 8 gb you’ll already be relying on swap memory quite a bit and it’s known to lower the life span of the ssd.

@@maximsergeev8153 It's read and write speeds are slower than the iPad air M1. None the less, for most people out there, they won't feel a thing. And the real pros won't use the Air anyways. It's not about that. It's about Apple being transparent about it. Apple can charge whatever they want for their products and people willing still buy it. Other companies have a different chip for the same model at a lower price range. No one complains about that because they are open about their specs. The customer knows exactly what he's buying.

Yesterday, I checked this new Air model against both Air M1 and Pro 14"..... Right of the bat, few things are obvious. An excellent keyboard, better than Air M1 and just as good as Pro 14". Ssurprisingly, you can tell it's lighter than Air M1. The screen also gives impression to be bigger and crispier than Air M1 and yet it's definitely no match for Pro M1 screen as the latter has markedly more real estate and is both crispier and with much better contrast and color reproduction. For anybody curious, it's engough to compare a few photos from Apple's picture gallery to instantly reveal the superiority of the Pro's screen. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that the new Macbook Air in basic configuration of 8 GB RAM and 25GB SSD is a perfect portable typewriter that might even double as a good streaming machine when you're out and roaming. Upgrading to 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD however is a questionable choice as the price difference to similarly equipped 14" Pro machine is negligible while performance will lagg due to absence of forced cooling.

@@Hii5Buddies i was in the same boat but went with m2 air. unless ur planning on doing some serious, sustained video editing or coding, the passive cooling should be no problem. it really depends on your use case, even the base m1 air is plenty of power for most consumers. im also using it for college so i wanted a more portable machine. (this gave me a discount through education store and made it a much larger price difference) also with any new macbook u need a dongle so 🤷‍♂️ just my reasoning with my purchase and some may not apply to you. either way i’m sure you’ll be very happy with whatever u go for :)

Adding more storage is way more simple than adding memory so I’d personally recommend the 16/256 config for most based on flexibility

That “disappointing” drive speed is still insanely fast… but shocker that half the drives have half the speed. 🙄 Really overblown complaint.

It’s inexcusable that an older MacBook air is literally better than the new one in terms of disk speed and thermal throttling.

Memory nowadays is cheap. Apple tactic of installing 8 gb ram and 256 gb ssd in the base model is unacceptable in 2022. It should be at least 16/512.

You will most definitely be impacted by the slower 256GB drive as the M2 Air has the same single NAND chip as the M2 Pro base model.

considering the throttle and SSD, I would say M2 is basically the same as M1 chip in overall performance. or M2 air is just a new module with m1 inside. Price bump goes to the new look.

Time for Tim Cook to step down... The company and the brand would be better served by the direction of Jony Ive at the helm... I think Jobs would have agreed. Offering 8G/256 (w/ 1 SSD chip) is another example of corporate malfeasance.
